Spent most of last evening trying to figure out all the fit problems with this kit.  I believe I have them sorted and thought a dry fit was in order.  And so it goes. AAACW |

Buck, where do I start?  The biggest problem was trying to get the engine to fit. In My kit, it shows to put the engine in and then put the frame in. No way.It has to be put in after the frame is in the body from the top. Then with the engine in there is no room for the radiator shroud and yoke. Ended up clipping the fan blades so it would fit in the shroud and sanding almost an 1/8th of an inch off it to clear the pulleys. Anyway, The tub needed a little work to fit but not bad. I'm hoping things are square and I can move forward. Joe, yes it does fit like a glove........NOW.  |

Don't get drastic, Joe. See if you can get it to work. If not I'll go into more detail as to what I did.

I wrote them this morning on messenger from their Facebook page and they finally answered... they are closed today... he wrote: "I will check tomorrow. We had a problem with our bottle vendor. They sent us the wrong bottles. I thought I sent everyone an email that had an order delayed. If I missed you I am sorry. I am including a free bottle of clear and a free bottle of primer in every order that was affected. All orders will be out in the mail by the end of the day tomorrow."

It probably helped that I informed him I was reviewing his products for our forum and a few hundred modelers on the Facebook model groups I belong to... lol!!!

He wrote me this morning and is packing it as we type this... glad it was just an oversight of letting me know he was waiting on bottles...

I am told they go on really well, time will tell!!! He included the business card and figured it was the easiest way for you guys to know who to get them from in case anyone wants to find a certain color!!! He had hundreds of factory colors!!! |
